It features insightful metering with real-time displays that make understanding and adjusting compression settings a breeze. The large, animated level/knee display visualizes exactly when and how compression is applied to your audio, helping you make more informed decisions. Accurate level meters show peak and loudness values, while the circular side-chain input meter simplifies the process of finding the perfect threshold setting. The Pro-C 2 plugin also includes a large side-chain EQ controller that allows you to filter the trigger signal with ease, ensuring precise control over how compression is applied.

As with all FabFilter plugins, Pro-C 2 comes with a suite of additional features designed to enhance your experience.

The Pro-C 2 plugin boasts several standout features that make it an essential tool for any audio engineer. It offers eight different compression styles, including five new options in version 2: Vocal, Mastering, Bus, Punch, and Pumping. The Range setting limits the maximum applied gain change, giving you better control over your compression. The gorgeous Retina interface includes optional animated level/knee displays and accurate peak/loudness metering. The Mix setting scales the gain change from 0% to 200%, providing flexibility in your adjustments. The side-chain EQ section features customizable high-pass and low-pass filters, as well as an additional freely adjustable filter, allowing for precise control over the side-chain signal.

The Pro-C 2 plugin also offers a Full-Screen mode with a large level display and side-chain EQ controller for an immersive experience. It includes program-dependent attack and release curves, accurate level and gain change meters, and smooth lookahead up to 20 ms. Retina support on OS X and High DPI support on Windows ensure that the plugin performs well on various systems. Intelligent Auto Gain, external side-chain triggering, and Hold (up to 500 ms) are also available. GPU-powered graphics acceleration enhances performance, while the custom knee setting ranges from a hard knee to a 72 dB soft knee for saturation-like effects. The plugin is available in stereo and mono versions and supports optional MIDI triggering. Super-fast attack times and compatibility with common Pro Tools hardware control surfaces make it a versatile choice. With up to 4x oversampling and features like MIDI Learn, variable stereo linking, and mid/side processing, Pro-C 2 provides all the tools you need to achieve professional results. Undo/redo and A/B comparison features, along with the Audition Triggering option, ensure that you have complete control over your compression settings.
